Desmond's First Steps!

Des took his first steps today...2 steps to go from one couch to the other all by himself.

We then enticed him to walk some more with a popsicle, which he loves. We placed Des between Mama and Dada and would trade the popsicle between us so that if Des wanted the popsicle, he would have to go after it and he did. The most steps he took by himself was 3! We are very proud of our little guy, who is getting to be not so little any more!

In other accomplishments, Des can say "woof woof" if you ask him "what does a doggie say?" When Mama and Des were reading a brand new book, we turned to a page that had a picture of a stuffed dalmatian and Des immediately started saying "woof woof" without any prompting from Mama!

Des will also sing the the tune to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" by saying "da da da" while putting his hands up to mimic stars twinkling. It is so cute.

If you ask him "how big is Desmond?", he will raise his arms up in the air to say "so big!"
